Winter shoes are filling stores right now in a smorgasbord of styles and although I love the look of a super high heel or a thigh high boot, it doesn't always look or feel so practical.

My shoe preference at the moment is to be comfortable (yet of course still stylish), and sitting firmly at #1 position on my Winter wish list is a boot with a flat or modest heel, and laces preferable, but not essential.

I just love this look with black leggings or opaque tights for Winter, it's edgy enough but without making an over statement. With plenty of options arriving in stores + an abundance of celebrity & street style inspiration to show you what to wear them with, I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of the season's hottest shoe styles...All the cool girls and their super cool ankle boots...Now this looks comfy...
